White halibut & wild garlic - that fits

April 15th, 2018 | main dishes

The best thing when buying fish is always to be guided by the display at the fishmonger or on the fish market. We are happy to follow the special recommendations of our fishmonger, and then we are sure to have the best and freshest fish in the pan. But what do you do with the newly purchased fish? At this time of year, a wild garlic and white wine sauce is just the thing!

White halibut & wild garlic - that fits

White halibut with wild garlic and white wine sauce

(serves 4)

12 small potatoes

cook unpeeled in salted water

150 g cream

beat 100 g of cream until stiff and chill

2 shallots, finely diced

1 TS butter

sauté the shallots until glassy

200 ml vegetable broth

100 ml white wine

add and bring to a boil with the remaining 50 g of cream, simmer for 5 minutes in a mild heat

½ bunch of wild garlic, cut into strips

add to the sauce and puree, fold in the chilled, whipped cream

salt, white pepper, nutmeg

season

800 g white halibut filet

salt, freshly ground pepper

rinse the fish filets, tap dry with a kitchen towel, season, sear in plenty of clarified butter in high heat from both sides and then leave in a mild heat until done

serve the fish with the wild garlic sauce and peeled boiled potatoes, garnish with some wild garlic leaves

And this is how the wife of the captain does it

The wild garlic white wine sauce also goes very well with asparagus, then I take the asparagus stock to deglaze the sauce. As a side dish “Bamberger Hörnchen”, an old potato variety, cooked in the shell, are optimal. Lucky who gets this potato variety on his market.

And, by the way, best of all, the sauce goes with fish AND asparagus AND Bamberg potatoes 😉

Sea service fitness, the teddy collection at seaman's outpatient clinic in Hamburg

January 13th, 2019 | on the road

Sea service fitness and the doctor with the teddies

You might think you are in the waiting room of a pediatrician practice. But no. At the latest when we enter the room with the hundreds of teddies in sailor suits, I know: “Now, it starts again.” We are in the seaman’s outpatient clinic with Doctor Jan-Gerd Hagelstein. In a few days my dearest captain will leave to sign on his next ship.
